Re: We're not unfairly complaining about congestion

Hence, why good unmarked cruisers would be helpful, to see what I saw and Marquisse, at least would clean up a lot of stupid driving.

Re: TICKETED FOR FOLLOWING TOO CLOSE BY AIRCRAFT

Court Officer realized you did not receive disclosure in a timely fashion, therefore told the Crown and Crown just had the charge withdrawn to save another court date and arguement of delay, only to have a JP quash the offence. Saved court time and yours!

Yes it does. If the signs are not visible from 60m away, they are not enforceable.

Pending, there is an excemption for the 60m rule too.

Plus, if the driver was able to see the stop sign and come to a stop, they would have seen ...

Re: The law

rather than slow driving, there could have the use of lanes section updated...unless actively passing (within 50m front or back of vehicle being passed) a vehicle shall keep to the right.

- with the above added, make it an offence to pass to the right of any vehicle.

this would allow faster moving vehicles on the left and give someone moving back ...

One would think it would be easier to beat. The officer in the plane has to be at the trial to give evidence. The officer on the ground cannot say "I observed you following too close" because he in fact didnt observe that. He cant say "the aircraft told me that they observed you following too close" at trial, because thats hearsay evidence (you ...

Most areas I have worked has a tow association and just ask for next tow on list. The one I am in now does not, so just get the closest tow to the location stopped, unless specific tow needed (ie: extended cab tow, CAA, heavy tow)
